    Hey there Jaycee!
    When I just started riding ( and i am still very new ) I had the same exact problem, but mine was worse than just burning. I literally couldnt sit without being in pain. So what I did is bought a new saddle with a coutout after reading this forum. It might be not as good for you as it is for me, I think you should definatelly give a try to a few saddles and figure out which one you like. Another problem might be your bike fit, which I am sure will hear more educated information from more experienced ladies here. But I hope it works out for you, keep us posted

    I have the Terry Butterfly which works well for me. It has the cutout and is the perfect width in the back. Everyone's different so you really just need to try a few out and see what works best for you.

    You may also want to look at your seat position and height. If the nose of the seat is even slightly tilted up it can be very painful. It might look level but make sure.

    I've experienced this "OMG I think I have a UTI!" burning problem as well. It was resolved by switching saddles.
